Stockyard Burger and Bones

.2 miles from the Courthouse. Don’t let the never-ending trend of fancy burger joints fool you, Stockyards is a serious restaurant…and you don’t even have to get a burger to love it. First off, a classic hamburger on a brioche bun is certainly a good option, but it is just scratching the surface on the possibilities here. How about a sushi-grade tuna burger? Or a wild boar burger? A New Zealand lamb burger? Or how about the Dirty South burger with smoked gouda mac & cheese, bacon, and apple butter BBQ sauce? If you want to eat little things, there’s short rib sliders, Angus beef corndogs, chicharones, and cowboy caviar (we’ll let you figure that one out on your own). Of course, there’s great fries in a multitude of ways with your choice of dipping sauce. If you want to go all-out, go for the Stockyard Frites which are topped with braised short rib, a fried egg, jalapeños & garlic aioli. Even vegetarians will love it here because the veggie burger made with beans, beets and rice is out of this world, with a charred texture that is as close to a grill-cooked burger as you’ll find. And if you’re one of those people that just has to have barbecue everywhere you go, you too will be fine as there’s a perfectly respectable pulled pork sammy as well as racks of baby back ribs. There’s no doubt that this place is also geared to a night time crowd with great beer and bourbon selections, but it’s also quickly becoming the go-to lunch spot in Marietta. Enjoy!
